Built a Million Dollar Startup in High School for the Deaf Community with Mariella

I chat with Mariella, a trailblazing entrepreneur who founded a startup for the deaf community while still in high school. After seeing the powerful impact of her work, she took a gap year from Stanford to focus entirely on growing her company, which has since raised $1M in pre-seed funding. Recently featured in Forbes 30 Under 30, Mariella shares her incredible journey of building a mission-driven startup, her experiences navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship, and her vision for making the world more accessible. This is a must-listen for anyone inspired by young leaders making waves!Host: https://www.instagram.com/japnitahujaGo Girl Podcast: https://www.instagram.com/gogirlpodcast/Guest: https://www.instagram.com/signupcaptions/Chapters00:00 Intro01:06 Founding Story03:01 Overnight Success03:52 Not being taken seriously cause of young age06:04 Raising Funds07:54 Built by the deaf community for the deaf community08:58 The Importance of Accessibility11:31 Business Model14:38 AI: Threat or Opportunity17:45 Success Stories23:07 Time management as a student and entrepreneur27:44 Building the MVP30:01 How to look for startup ideas?32:52 thank you outroSend me a text for feedback or just to chat :)
